Codey gets committee assignments

Former Senate President Richard Codey didn’t get any committee chairmanships after being replaced by Steve Sweeney as Senate president, and he’s also not getting the Albio Sires no-committee treatment.

Codey has been appointed as a member of the Senate Labor Committee and Senate Economic Growth Committee. In 2006, Sires stepped down as speaker but was given the honorary title of speaker emeritus in a low-stress year that culminated with his election to Congress later in the year.

Republicans haven’t announced their committee appointments, but below’s a summary of what’s changing on the Democratic side — which hasn’t been technically announced, either, but is in the new Legislative Digest[1]. (The committee leadership changes detailed last week aren’t repeated here.)
